I was lucky enough to be invited to be part of the Empowering The Philippines mission to the City of Tacloban and the surrounding area.

This part of the Philippines was hit the hardest by Super Typhoon Haiyan (called Yolanda in the Philippines).

Haiya was one of the strongest typhoons on record and released most of its force on the Philippines on November 7th and 8th, 2013, with top wind speeds reaching 195 mph.

The goal of the mission was to work with local people to help them to deal with their continuing trauma and to teach local professionals to use tapping in their work in the community.

My friend Helen McConnell (bio below) interviewed me about the work we did, my experience, and what we can all learn from this type of work.

Continuing Work

This was not a one-off experience. Much of the work we did was towards establishing an infrastructure to allow more people to learn tapping. We also had the opportunity to train people working with UNICEF and the Red Cross.

Personal Reflections

I also wrote every day while in the Philippines. You can read more reflections and my in the moment response on my personal blog

About Helen McConnell

Helen McConnell is a Certified EFT Practitioner, trained in clinical and advanced EFT. She specializes in helping people release the limiting beliefs that stand in the way of the success they desire – whether its business, finances, health, weight release, love, or creating their legacy.

As many of you know, I also run the member site the Ruach Center. Every day members of the site receive an email from me with a link to a tap-along audio that is designed to conquer self-sabotaging behavior.

Recently as I was recording one of those audios and I personally experienced a huge emotional shift.

I thought it would be a great thing to share with everyone, not just the site members.

Trying again where we have failed in the past is one of the hardest things to do.

I was recently faced with wanting to do something that didn’t go well in the past. It wasn’t that it went badly, but it was far from as successful as I would have liked and because of this I was really hesitant about trying again.

Here is an audio of me tapping in real time for the issue. Because I am tapping for the issues as they come up it is less structured than the tap-along audios you normally find on the site.

Even though it not as produced I think the rawness can be instructive so you can hear someone unpacking an issue in real time.

I would love your feedback on the tapping and to know if you find it helpful.
